WEST BANK (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Renewed clashes broke out last night between Palestinian resistance fighters and the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Jenin City and Tulkarem’s Nur Shams refugee camp.
According to Palestinian media sources, resistance fighters clashed with Israeli forces at dawn in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin City and detonated explosive devices at them.
Israeli drones reportedly dropped bombs on homes in Jenin’s eastern neighborhood and prevented ambulances from entering the area to evacuate casualties, while IOF bulldozers continued to destroy roads and infrastructure in different areas of the city.
Local sources said that the IOF kidnaped Yassin Abu Aoun, the son of Hamas official Nazih Abu Aoun who is still in Israeli detention, following a raid on his home in Jaba town, south of Jenin.
The Israeli military operation in Jenin, which started 22 days ago, has turned its refugee camp into a ghost town, causing destruction on a large scale.
During its ongoing operation in Jenin, the IOF has killed 26 citizens, including civilians and resistance fighters, displaced thousands from their homes, and kidnaped dozens.
Palestinian Authority forces also launched a large-scale arrest campaign in Jenin as part of its security cooperation with the Israeli occupation regime.
In Tulkarem, resistance fighters from al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas and other armed groups were able to ambush and target Israeli soldiers in Nur Shams refugee camp.
Al-Qassam Brigades said that one of its groups was able to ambush and attack an infantry force in Nur Shams camp before targeting other Israeli soldiers who came to their rescue, killing and injuring a number of them.
Resistance fighters from al-Qassam Brigades and other groups also showered Israeli soldiers barricading themselves in a house near Tulkarem refugee camp with a volley of bullets, injuring some of them.
Fighters from al-Quds Brigades of Islamic Jihad also ambushed Israeli soldiers in Wadi al-Qalansuwa neighborhood in Nur Shams camp and injured a number of them.
The IOF expanded its military operation to Tulkarem about 16 days ago, where they also caused massive destruction to private and public property.
During its ongoing military raid in Tulkarem, the IOF killed eight citizens and displaced thousands.
